About This Book
Who is this kid with the funny name? Well, that depends on who you ask. Everybody who knows Melvin―his mom, his dad, his best friend Jimmy, his dog―even Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the big ugly monster with three eyes who lives in his closet have a different opinion. This original and riotous picture book has a lot to say―not only about Melvin, but also about perspective, point of view, and a six-and-a-half-year-old's place in the world.
